Sabres re-sign Ruff, Regier; Drury and Briere next step

‘Regier said he’s had preliminary contact with representatives for both players, but wasn’t making any promises. “There’s a lot of things at play,” he said. “We’ll get into that and see where it goes.” Regier added that the Sabres probably won’t have any chance of re-signing either player if negotiations go past the start of free agency.’
